Remote Sensing Center of Mongolia - Brief Outlook
2. Modern Times and Future Outlook
With a population of about 2 millions, Mongolia has was territory of 1565.6 thousand square kilometers and rich natural resources to explore.
For example, Mongolia stands in third place among the socialist
countries and in 17 in the World by territory, through it stands in last place among socialist countries by studied square kilometer area.
Mongolian economy is making important achievements in the agricultural and industrial development, which is colliding with ecological environment .
All these are the complexity of factors of futures development of Mongolia upon which we have to consider carefully.
System analysis to the above-mentioned factors requests completely new approach to planning and management of the national economy sourced by nation-wide integrated Geographic Information System.
As far as the agriculture concerns, a better control and monitoring of livestock, pastures, crop-fields, soil erosion, water resources, forestry by IGIS will contribute to obtain the balanced and rationalized exploitation of bio-resources.
As to the industrial development of Mongolia, the RSCM will help to explore a mineral resources, contribute to urban and rural development.
Taking into consideration the future abilities of the RSCM as a global and permanently functioning geo-based information system for surveying of natural resources and environmental monitoring of Mongolia, the RSCM will enable to collect, process and disseminate the relevant information for planning and organization of infrastructure of the national economy.
And more, the RSCM as a multipurpose body will provide the high-level decision-makers with invaluable basic information for analyzing and monitoring the national economy.
Compared to academic researches in the field of remote sensing the RSCM activities in a framework of applied research will give an immediate results and direct revenues to the national economy with less expenses.
In this sense a development of the RSCM activities as applied science in Mongolia must be principally actual and prior task.
